Just saw Black Swan with 3 other women...we discussed it over and over....trying to figure out what was real and what was in her head...
there is no correct answer to that, and there never will be.

I really enjoy The Fountain
I good double feature would be Dirty Harry and Zodiac.
Swan, is very vague, what scenes with Kunis really happened? Who knows?
Why would Kunis stalk her? Did she come to her home? Her mother never spoke to her. Portman imagined the fight in the dressing room with her when the mirror was broken, did the Kunis character even exist?
There aren't any answers to these questions.
Swan is an abstract exercise, like Lynche's Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway. And those were much better films by a film maker with a clearer vision.
I think it was she was "perfect" in that she finally went outside of that level of technical brilliance (especially after her fall) and was firmly entrenched in expressive brilliance.
Right, in addition to her sort of "self-actualization" during and after the second act of the performance. Never mind the film even used the Cassel character to make the explicit point about perfection having little or less to do with technical mastery in the first place.
Speaking of Cassel, has anyone seen Mesrine? I have both parts on my hard drive, but after watching the full version of Carlos I need to take a little break from that kind of thing.
Tonight I watched Agora, ...
Agora
Best movie I have seen in a long time. Worth a trip to the theater, if it is playing near you. Takes place in Alexandria Egypt, around 400 AD. It involves the struggles among Pagans, Christians, and a few Jews. Conflicts between science and religion. Closing scene, an example of how far one will go for love.
